Planning Division

I would like to welcome you to the Planning Division's web page.  My name is Michael Boquist and I am the City Planner for the City of La Grande.  The Planning Division oversees all Land Use standards that relate to Residential, Commercial and Industrial development within La Grande and its Urban Growth Boundary.  The Planning Division also serves as the support staff for the City Council, Planning Commission and Landmarks Commission.

I hope that you have a positive experience using this web page and are able to find the information you need.  The web page is designed to be an extension of our office and provides many of the same resources that are available at the Planning Division counter.   Please feel free to call or email me with any questions.

To help you better navigate this site, I have provided several quick links to commonly requested information.  If you're having difficulty finding something specific, there is an excellent search engine at the upper right corner of each page.  It works especially well when searching for City Code sections.  Just type in a key word or two and press "Go". 

Please visit our Planning Commission and Landmarks Commission pages for information concerning upcoming meetings and projects that are being consider or that have been approved and are under way.
